Replying to: werm9 (May 14, 2006 1:39 pm) I'm going to assume its close to the same as the caliber with the 2.4 l engine , the low 20s |

| its somthing they should have released when the specs went public. i think it was somwhere in this forums i read that it may get up to 30mpg. car and driver reported a 21.5 mpg average/ the caliber which is basically the same thing as a compass engine and transmission wise. and it being bigger and heavier it should acutally get worse gas milage than the caliber. worse than 21.5? no ty jeep. i was actually going to buy a caliber but afte car and drivers results i won't be getting one now | |

| and CVT2 automatic are 23 city / 26 hwy. The Patriot with the same engine and a 5-speed manual trans should be close to those numbers, perhaps even slightly better. | |
Well, I think the Patriot looks great. Jeep really did well, plus, it and its twin, the Dodge Nitro, have a Class III trailer towing capacity. Thats great. I have a 2001 Toyota Sequoia that I only drive so I can tow my boat, and I want to get a smaller SUV. These are the only two that I know of capable of towing the Chapparall. I'll definently be giving these two a look.

| On Jeep's page at one time they had preliminary estimates to a 2006 EPA test of 25/30 MPG, more than likely for the FWD model, but still better than I thought | |

Hmm not as good as I would hope . Well actually I can live with 22/27 with the 4wd . I think my 94 cherokee gets something like 14/16 now if even (yea its a piece of poo) so i would end up saving alot of moeny and having roughly the same amount of room and features of my old jeep.

Replying to: gljvd (Jun 08, 2006 10:16 pm) I have a 91 Cherokee with the 4L and get 22 at 75 on the hw and 23 at 70. The 91 gets about 18 in town and the 2001 GC gets about 16 in town. I'm not a great driver. I'm probably like most drives. How do you get only 14 and 16 mpg? Unless you have the 360 V8? CK |

| I think its years of abuse to the engine that is causing the problem. Aside from that I have a huge lead foot. Allways speeding off from a stop. I normaly get 240-250 miles to the tank. I forget off the top of my head how large the tank is | |
